The mashup bug!

Yeah even i got the mash up craze, when i realised that kids of grade 8 would be the ones behind many of the evolving mashups and my mind came up with a plethora of mashups
but sooo many of them have already come up !! :-))(altho in a miniscule way.. yes but they have..)!!

eg: i thought of a mashup for buying and selling property globally with use of google maps n mapmyindia and sites like these mashup for ATM worldwide sorted on locations.. since ATM are not bank proprietory .. :-) ATMLocator
What cud teh biz model be..??AD based? aubscription based, payper search based?
i also thought of a couple of financial mash ups (lending borrowing / trading currency over the web) financial mashup like a personal finance management mashup for individuals and entrepreneurs..
also was brainstorming with a friend and campe up with online media rights exchange mashup for worldwide media.. creative media auctioning or content rights purchase or technology of media subcription bids or may be more stuff like that..

Analytics for so many of these social networking sites for business purposes or for google adsense /msn to choicefully advertise on pages for these-or some shit like that-- typically analytics on browsing to improve relevance of ads to surfers.. somuch of target bandwidth is still a waste..
while to load the free ads on yahoo msn rediff etc.. my internet bills hike up!! cost of free service
just becoz most sites gave services free for faster penetration the psyche is towards not paying for it.. but eventually they will :) somehow they are paying more than they think ..possible
